| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Echo Arm | Experimental | Chest pain patients identified by their treating physician as being low-risk chest pain will undergo a point-of-care echocardiogram performed by a trained emergency medicine attending or resident prior to discharge from the emergency department. The physician of record will review this ultrasound and it will be documented whether the findings on the ultrasound changed the physician of record's disposition decision for the patient or the follow up instructions or medications. |
|
| Usual Care | No Intervention | Chest pain patients identified by their treating physician as being low-risk chest pain will receive the usual care for their condition. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |

| Point-of-Care Echocardiogram | Diagnostic Test | Four view ultrasound of the heart performed at the bedside by trained emergency medicine physicians. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Disposition | Will assess if the result of the point-of-care echocardiogram resulted in the physician of record changing subject disposition from discharge to admission. We will assess this by asking the physician of record what the disposition plan is for the patient and recording their answer on IRB approved data collection sheet. | Day of enrollment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Follow up instructions | Will assess if the result of the point-of-care echocardiogram changed the follow up instructions or discharge medication decision for the enrolled subject as determined by the physician of record by asking them if the echo results caused them to add any additional discharge instructions for the patient. We will record their answer on the IRB approved data collection sheet. |
